解析

试题分析:本文讲述作者独自一人去奥克兰求学,需要一份工作充实自己的生活经历,并在一位陌生人的帮助下最终获得了一份工作。作者以此向我们展示一个生活真谛:只要努力,世界会给每个人以回报。
小题1:考查名词:doubt”怀疑”;concern”担心,挂念,关怀”;instruction”命令,指示,教诲,教导”;由上文的”my mother was worried about a lack of jobs and cultural differences”可知,这是妈妈对我的关心。故此处要用concerns。选B。
小题2:考查连词短语:even if”即使”;every time”每次”;now that”既然,由于”;soon after”不久以后”。上文说到我不理睬妈妈的担心,但是到了奥克兰之后不久,我就意识到了得到一份工作对我生活开支的重要性。故D项符合文意。
小题3:考查介词:对于我的生活经历而言,我认识到得到一份工作对我生活开支的重要性。for”对于;至于”,符合题意。故选C项。
小题4:on one’s own”独自地,独立地”;on one’s way”在路上”;by any chance”万一”;by the day”按天计算;按日”。从下文看,作者出去找工作都是独自一人完成的,故on my own适合题意。选A。
小题5:考查形容词:由but可知,but后面的内容应该和前面的I spent several weeks going doortodoor for a job形成转折,”我没找到工作”。选项中只有little表示否定意义。故选D项。
小题6:考查连接词:我进这所大楼,目的是想找到一份工作,所以去问是否能有工作机会。why”为什么”;wherever”无论在哪里”;whether”是否”;whenever”无论何时”。故只有C项符合题意。
小题7:考查名词:direction”方向,指导,趋势,用法说明”;attitude”态度,意见,看法”;language”语言”;manner”方式,方法,态度,举止,礼貌,规矩,习惯”;in that manner”以那种方式”。根据上文的I spent several weeks going doortodoor for a job可知,我找工作的方法是挨家挨户地去问,所以这座大楼里的人建议我不要再用这种方式找工作了。故D项符合题意。
小题8:考查动词:answer”回答”;work”工作”;leave”离开”;refuse”拒绝”。根据上文描述可知,我在此处并没有找到工作,所以正打算离开。Be about to leave”正要离开”,符合文意。选C。
小题9:考查词组:for ever”永远”;at any time”在任何时候”;as usual “像往常一样”;for a while”一会儿”。由下文的nearly ten minutes later可知,这位一直在旁边听的人是想让我在外面等一会。故D项符合题意。
小题10:考查动词:return”回来”;hesitate”犹豫”;pass”经过,通过”;regret”后悔”。由下文中”He asked me....”可知这个人回来了。故A项符合题意。
小题11:考查形容词:silent”沉默的,寂静的”;busy”忙碌的”;positive”积极的”;comfortable”舒适的,舒服的”。由上下文可知,他询问了我的计划,并且鼓励我要继续保持积极的态度,然后推荐我去罗亚尔奥克找一份工作。故C项符合题意。
小题12:考查动词短语:pick out”挑选出”;search for”寻找,搜索”;take on”呈现,接纳,雇用”;give up”放弃”。从下文可以看出,我在罗亚尔奥克找到了一份工作。故此处只有search for才符合文意。选B。
小题13:考查形容词:dull”无趣的,单调的”;good”好的,令人满意的”;guilty”自知有过错的,内疚的”;general”一般的,普遍的,大体的,笼统的”。由常识可知,他帮了我,我自然是对他有好感。故B项符合题意。
小题14:考查词组:make use of”利用”;take care of”照顾”;run out of”用完,用光”;become tired of”厌烦”。由下文的Seeing this,the man at his business partner’s office to make me fifteen copies可知,我的简历表用完了。故只有C项符合题意。
小题15:考查动词搭配:stop at”逗留在,住宿,对……有所踌躇”;knock at”敲(门、窗等)”;glance at”看一下,浏览”;appear at”到达,出现在”。由常识可知,此处是指他在生意合作伙伴的办公室里,给我复印简历。故A项符合题意。
小题16:考查形容词:上文提到我的简历用完了,所以此处又复印了15份。表示”再,又”,英语中可以用”基数词+more+复数名词”或者”another+基数词+复数名词”来表示。故只有B项符合题意。
小题17:考查名词:pressure”压力”;agreement”协议,同意”;impression”印象,影响”;suggestion”建议”。由下文的dressing and speaking可知,此处指他就dressing and speaking而给我提的建议。故选D项。
小题18:考查形容词:lonely”孤独的,寂寞的”;funny”滑稽的”;disappointed”失望的”;satisfied”感到满意的”。由上文的内容可知,简历虽然用完了,但是这个人又帮我找地方复印了,还就我的dressing and speaking给我提出建议。故我应该是感到满意。故选D项。 
小题19:考查名词:call”电话”;tip”小费;建议”;present”礼物”;report”报告”。由常识可知,此处是指我接到了要我去罗亚尔奥克一家商店工作的电话。故选A项。
小题20:考查词组:turn off”关掉,断开;拐弯”;go over “复习;仔细检查”;give back”归还;送回;恢复;后退”;look up”仰望;查阅”。由本文所描述的故事可知,我的体会就是世界似乎总是在你最需要它的时候回报你。故选C项。

举一反三
Bertie knew there was something in the wind.His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s feet when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.”
His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion?”
“I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.
“No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “People will come to see him. He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would!” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.
Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he slipped downstairs, took down his father’s hunting rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come.
“Be wild now,” he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you. I promise I will.” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down the hill and walked away.
When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.
There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head.
小题1:Bertie’s mother was sad probably because she ______.
A.had been seriously ill recently
B.had decided to send Bertie to school
C.knew selling the lion would upset Bertie
D.knew Bertie would hate to go to England
小题2:In the last paragraph, the boy lifted the rifle to ______.
A.kill the lion out of angerB.show his anger towards his father
C.protect himself from the lionD.threaten the lion back to the wild
小题3:The passage intends to show that ______.
A.animal-hunting is popular in Africa
B.parents are sometimes cruel to their children
C.people and animals can be faithful to each other
D.animals usually lead a miserable life in circuses

I wasn’t surprised when I read that actress Helen Hunt recently stated that she would never allow her young daughter to become a child star. Ms Hunt is the daughter of a Hollywood technical director, and grew up in Hollywood. Now in her late 40s, she started acting and modeling when she was eight and has probably seen a lot over those years in show business.
She has had a successful career. She earned four Golden Globes and four Emmys. She also attained the top honor of her profession when she won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in the 1992 movie, As Good As It Gets. Given those accolades, Ms Hunt is successful. There is no doubt that her early experiences as a child star prepared her for what has been an outstanding adult career. Given those achievements, why would this star declare she’ll never allow her daughter, now at the age of six, to follow in her footsteps?
Everyone familiar with the entertainment scene is aware of the reasons for her attitude. Recent tabloid (小报) news headlines featuring the troubles of former child stars, among them Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and the late Gary Coleman, may answer the question. Although Ms Hunt managed to become a successful grown-up star, she apparently believes she’s an exception.
What Ms Hunt may be suggesting is that many very young stars go through unnatural childhoods on movie and TV sets. While they’re earning big incomes, they’re so pampered (纵容) by directors and praised by fans; they may get false impressions that their lives will always be that way. Then, within a few years, when faced with reality, they’re hurt and confused. After all the overwhelming affection, they find they can’t deal with the problems. That’s often when drugs and alcohol take over their lives.
Helen Hunt has some other reasons why she doesn’t want her daughter to be in the entertainment business. Many child stars can never make a successful transition to meaningful adulthood. However, as with many Hollywood movies, I believe there are both good and bad scenes about how it can be played out in real life.
小题1:According to the passage, Ms Hunt _________.
A.started acting and modeling when she was a little girl
B.has been acting for about 30 years
C.is the daughter of a famous actor
D.started singing when she was eight
小题2:The underlined word “accolades” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.
A.difficultiesB.awardsC.salariesD.opinions
小题3:The author thinks Helen Hunt’s success is mainly due to _________.
A.her hard workB.the help of a technicaldirector
C.her experiences as a child starD.her talent and good luck
小题4:Helen Hunt wouldn’t allow her daughter to become a child star because she thinks _________.
A.child stars often take drugs and alcohol
B.being a child star may ruin her future
C.child stars aren’t able to solve their problems
D.it is difficult to succeed as a child actor
小题5:From the passage we can conclude that _________.
A.few child stars will succeed in the future
B.there is no way to save the entertainment business
C.the author has a different opinion about child stars
D.meaningful adulthood only belongs to non-child stars

Until a few months ago, he was a butler(管家) in one of the more expensive residential buildings in Manhattan. But now, Nepal-born Indra Tamang is the owner of two multi-million dollar apartments in the same building.
The former owner - his former employer, Ruth Ford - died last year and left the apartments  to Mr Tamang in her will.
Mr Tamang is happy but quickly points out that his good fortune did not come easily. "I am happy and have been touched by the generosity of the Ford family," he says. "I never expected that I will be given the ownership of these apartments. But I have been working for the family for the last 36 years, devotedly, with honesty and dedication(奉献). So my hard work has been rewarded."
Mr Tamang was 21 when he was brought from Nepal by Charles Ford, a writer and a photographer. Mr Ford died in 2002; his sister, actress Ruth Ford, then took charge and told Mr Tamang that he was like a brother to her after Charles"s death.
Mrs Ford died aged 98. During the last five years of her life, she lost her eyesight and also developed speech problems. Mr Tamang looked after her most of the time and took care of her medicines and food.
He also worked with Charles Ford on various photography projects, which he now wants to keep as the photographer"s legacy(遗产). He hopes to organize exhibitions of Mr Ford"s photographs and edit a book of his works.
Mr Tamang plans to sell the bigger, three-bedroom apartment to pay the taxes he owes to the government on his legacy. He says: "The rules of the building might be a problem, as they require a minimum monthly income to qualify to live as owner of apartments. I have my small house here but I am happy with it,"
Mr Tamang has learnt his lesson from the life of his employers and plans to use his money with great caution. "I think one should save money for old age. That"s when you need it the most to get care," he says. 
小题1:Mr Tamang treated the legacy as __________.
A.a rewardB.a punishmentC.businessD.a gift

A.To find a good butler.
B.To spend money thoughtfully.
C.To save money for children.
D.To get good care when people get old.
小题5:What can we know from the passage?

On Friday morning, I was waiting in the corridor with my class for the physics exam. Glancing back from the front of the queue, I found my best friend Terry, who was treating me like I didn’t exist during the past two weeks,   36  all my calls and messages.

Before she had a chance to explain, Mr. Reed took her   43   and told her to leave the room. Terry started crying as she walked to the door, looking back over her shoulder at me, sad and ashamed.
After the exam, I received a text message from Terry, saying “I’m really   44  that I’ve been avoiding you lately but it’s been the hardest two weeks of my life. My dad has a heart attack and he’s been in hospital. He has a(n)    45   today and I am really worried. I know it is stupid, but I was trying to send a text message to my mum to see how it was going.

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her three-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling. They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy"s tummy.
The pregnancy progresses normally for Karen. But complications arise during delivery. Finally, Michael"s little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the intensive care unit at St. Mary"s Hospital.
The little girl gets worse. The doctor tells the parents, "There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst." Karen and her husband have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby — now they plan a funeral.
Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her," he says. But kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. However, Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not.  “If he doesn"t see his sister now, he may never see her alive.” She dresses him in an oversized scrub suit and marches him into ICU. The head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows, "Get that kid out of here now! " The mother, the usually mild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head nurse"s face, her lips a firm line. "He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!" Karen tows Michael to his sister"s bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing.       
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray”  
Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate becomes calm and steady.     
"You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don"t take my sunshine away "
The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten"s purr.     
Keep on singing, Michael. Tears conquer the face of the bossy head nurse as well as Karen.    
Funeral plans are scrapped. The next, day — the very next day — the little girl is well enough to go home!
